摘要
We present the design, construction, and testing of a straining device compatible with many different synchrotron radiation techniques, in a wide range of experimental environments (including low temperature, high field and ultra-high vacuum). The device has been tested by X-ray diffraction on single crystal samples of quasi-one-dimensional Cs2Mo6Se6 and K2Mo6Se6, in which microscopic strains up to a Delta c/c = 0.12% +/- 0.01% change in the c lattice parameters have been achieved. We have also used the device in an inelastic X-ray scattering experiment, to probe the strain-dependent speed of sound. along the c axis. A reduction Delta v/v of up to -3.8% was obtained at a strain of Delta c/c = 0.25% in K2Mo6Se6. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.
